The Day After

November 20, 2009

Hopefully, the smokers who on Thursday participated in the 34th Great American Smokeout sponsored by the American Cancer Society will muster the will power to stay tobacco-free today, tomorrow, the next day, and so on until they are tobacco-free. If you got through Thursday without going nuts, now comes the hard part ... staying away from demon tobacco. We offer our support and encouragement for you to not light up when drinking that first cup of coffee, after a meal or when the times are rough and all you want to do is grab a smoke. It isn’t easy, but it gets easier the longer you stay away from tobacco. Most people hooked on tobacco do not want to smoke, but the addiction is strong and tobacco is so easy to come by. Unfortunately, there seems to be more stories of failure than there are of success.
